It shows a very drastic drop in CPU performance. Unlike some other AAA games, where the CPU performance of the top CPUs are even/constant (meaning there is a GPU bottleneck), does this signify that Watch Dogs 2 has a CPU bottleneck?
I'm getting stutters on a GTX 1060 (6GB) and i5 3330 - playing on medium settings, but I don't know if I should blame the CPU or GPU for this. When I am static or indoors, it's a perfect 60fps, but when driving it is 45-50fps with frequent micro stutters.
Given how "low" the i5 6600 is on that list, and the fact that the next gen CPUs aren't going to be all that much better in terms of performance (i5 7600), added with the fact that GPU tech is just going to keep getting better and better, is it fair to say that CPUs are now going to be a limiting factor going forward? I remember 4 years ago there would be nothing that could bottleneck my measly i5 3330, but looks like buying the latest highest end i5 7600 would still lead to considerable bottleneck.
